Driving in to work the other day, I heard two commercials for “testosterone” boosters. The claims made, such as increased energy, strength, weight loss and libido are correct. The only problem is that it is not safe for everyone to use and may contain actual steroids! Testosterone supplements should only be used under physician supervision and may increase the risk of prostate cancer and heart disease. Only prescription grade testosterone should be prescribed.
 
 
 
 
Testosterone Booster Supplement Recalled for Containing Synthetic Steroid
On October 5, 2011, the U.S. FDA announced that Superior Metabolic Technologies Inc of Marietta, Georgia is voluntarily recalling all lots of the testosterone booster Uprizing 2.0 because tests have shown the product appears to contain superdrol, a synthetic steroid, making it an unapproved new drug. On August 5 the FDA made Superior Metabolic Technologies Inc aware that Uprizing 2.0 contains superdrol which is banned by the FDA. This led to the recall of the product.
 
This is the rule, unfortunately, rather then the exception. Buyer beware as the FDA is impotent!
